Increase in SPAM web form submissions

Hi,
I'm noticing a trend of increased SPAM web form submissions across most of our BC sites. This has got particularly bad in the past week or so. All SPAM submissions follow a very similar theme. The text is complete 'gobbledygook' basically! The forms being used don't have any description fields where long descriptions or links can be entered so I struggle to see why this is happening.
What I want to know is:
- is this something other BC partners are noticing, particularly recently
- are your SPAM submissions similar to what I have shown below
- what can we do to reduce these other than using CAPTCHA on all forms?
- we exclusively use BC but I would be interested to know if the BC platform is particularly bad for SPAM submissions or is this something all sites are suffering from nowadays?
- any other light you could shed on this issue or advice you could impart would be much appreciated
Real submission example:
First name: tjlavseb
Surname: tjlavseb
Email: [email protected]
Date: hgnhQMmssGynJLb
Time: 11am
House Name: LHkJxazHGUYClEZJQd
Street address: nvOaQumEsbBGsA
Postcode: lJEODtxlXj

Hi there,
We are experiencing a high volume of spam since changing our web forms on our newly redesigned site. The objective of the site design was to make it quick and easy for clients to get a quick quote thus asking for only a few fields to be completed. Adding a captcha form would actually detract from the purpose of the form.
We have implemented the honey pot field which seems to have made little to no difference in volume (this seems to be the case for this fix across many other users of BC). The problem is with our spam is quite unusual whereby we are not getting any specific info from them really making it hard to detect if it is spam or real. See example;
Have you seen this type before?

Lots of spams , seems like lousy safety

Been using one of my old ( 2007 ) mail account as Microsoft ID ever since those days , never got spams as the account isn´t officially published anywhere.
Now, with the demand to sign in to Skype with the MS ID a couple of things have happened.
Getting Skype contact requests from unknown happens daily.
My ( secret.. ? ) mail account is getting lots of spams.
Real lousy security , I really don´t like it , very dissapointed

What's under there is a fan, and I suspect that's what you are hearing. Your hard drive is in the right front corner of the machine.

Mail Just Isn't Doing What it Should

I've been having problems with Mail for the past few months, and I've become so fed up I needed to post here to see if anyone has any suggestions on how to make things better.
My original problem was that mail would keep downloading messages I had deleted from the server, especially spam messages, such that I would have to delete the same spam message 6-7 times per day to keep my mailbox free of spam. My trash folder would like rather ridiculous with many duplicate copies of the same message. I would've thought that mail would download a message from the server only once, and especially if I had deleted it it wouldn't download it again. Anyways, it didn't do this and I was quite disappointed.
This was all while I was trying to "train" the mail program to recognize the spam from real messages, and even though some real messages were still getting tagged as spam, I needed to take it out of training so I wouldn't have the issue of deleting spam so often. So, I recently took the mail program out of training mode and set it to move spam to the junk folder (because of my real messages still being tagged as spam). As soon as I did this the scads of spam suddenly became no longer the yellow spam color that I've known to despise, but instead look black like regular messages. Because of this they are not moved into the junk folder. However when I click on them mail still thinks they are junk because I get the button to click to say that it is (Not Junk)
Now as of this morning, Mail seems to have forgotten all of its training and is no longer setting /anything/ to junk. I am just so frustrated with this program. Usually Apple's programs are so amazing. Am I doing something terribly wrong?

Jeffrey,
Welcome to the Discussions. I am sorry you have waited so long to post about these issues.
For the problem of repeated downloads, this is likely the result of some corruption in the files named MesssageUidsAlreadyDownded (there can be two), which is found in every POP account folder, along with many other files, including those storing Rules info, and Junk Rules info. This corruption can sometimes, but not often, result from strangely formated HTML messages, and problem does not happen with every mail server.
First question that might relate to the other problem you mention is how much free disk space is on your hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition?
Second question is, was the Mail folder converted from one used by Panther's Mail program? If so, Are you using a POP account? If so, I want you to read the article at the link below, and then get back to me with some observations:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailbox you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but can also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger.
Also, some issues could arise from a truly Overstuffed mailbox, so when you report to me the names of files seen in your INBOX.mbox folder of your principal account (if more than one), also report the size of each file or folder. Do not, however, try to list the files that are within the folder named Messages, that is found in each and every mailbox. I doubt this is applicable.
The path to the Mail folder is Home/Library/Mail -- within the Mail folder are one or more account folders and the Mailboxes folder.
More info, please.
Ernie

I have received a message stating that my mac is infected by viruses and I should download MacProtector.mpkg. Is this spam or a real alert from my iMac?

I have received a message stating that my imac is infected by viruses and that I should download and install MacProtector.mpkg. Is this spam or a real alert from my iMac?

As long as whatever installer got downloaded to your machine never ran, and if it ran you quit the installer and didn't let it complete, then you're fine. For more information about this trojan, which is a variant of the MacDefender trojan, see:

Real offer or SPAM?

I received the following message today. I'm not certain that it's real and don't want to click on any of it. The links all go back to an address http:my.email.skype.com...... (a lot of random stuff after) I would think that if it was real it would go to an https address. How do I confirm or report this as SPAM? I'm very suspicious.

Spam detector has some REAL ISSUES

I am at a total loss as to why Verizon can deliver me an email from an outside entity without any issue but when I then subsequently need to forward that email, with no modifications or additions, to my wife the outgoing mail server rejects it as spam.
I actually wonder what they base this decision on as the email in question is a reminder from my bank to us me that it is time to make a payment on our home equity line of credit. I then wonder how many other important, to me, documents the so called spam detector is deleting on the inbound side and not bothering to notify me of
Forwarding the so called spam to '[email protected]' as Verizon suggests has no effect as it still is rejecting 4 hours later..
Is there anything I can include in my forwarded message that will indicate to the so called spam detector that the single message I am sending to a single adressee is NOT spam.

send it from outlook to www.isnotspam.com (they have an email on their site) and they analyze and tell you what is setting off red flags. then you can adjust. there is usually something extra that outlook is sending that is causing the redflag. maybe a sig file or something similiar. let us know what the results are

Your motherboard has been registered with us and you are eligible to receive a replacement motherboard in April.

dunno, we can guess only, seems spammer wanted from users to sent their boards for "replacement",
and to earn a free boards or to use their serials numbers for some other kind of fraud
You best contact msi here: http://support.msi.com/ and tell them about it.
Do not trust to anything that not comes from valid msi source.

That pop-up wasn't from Mozilla, that was a fake website. You didn't download or install anything from there, did you?

Is there a way to control spam on my iPad?

Hi all,
I'm being bombed one a minute at the moment - last 2 days. Don't know how or why. contacted my ISP - no real help there except thy asked me to forward a sample to and spam databse URL. Have put filters on my macbook pro and its OK. Ipad is choked??? Should I sync or not sync? The rules I have in place are to move email with a certain subject to spam folder, and delete - this is working well on my macbook pro. Shouldn't the action of delting the email then be "seen" by the ipad??? Have tried syncing and not syncing that particular emaill account that is being affected. Any suggestions???
cheers
Steve

Yes I have been using my ISP's web mail for a couple hours and it does have a kind of spam control - very basic no rules. you just click a box for each email and then a button marked spam. There are no way to create rules for spam. I have been manually marking mails that come in. This does fix the problem, but its not a solution if it has to be done manually. I
will contact the ISP tomorrow and have it escalated - and hopefully a filter csn be done on the mail server. Never had anything like this in 18 years on the net????
i've been wracking my brain rying to figure out where this has all started - twitter is the culprit.

Full Email Address Header for Viruses and Spam?

I have been googling all day and trying to find out a method to display the full email header to display on the iPhone.
Most email clients (both web based and program based) have a method by which you can view the "original" message or the email header information. In the original message viewing one is able to see the entire mail header.
Most of already know that a person can send an email from an email server and pretend to be anybody they want. They populate the "name" the "pretend email address" it is coming from, the same address as the "reply to" (so it looks legit) and so forth. What the email header also contains, which I am not able to see on the iPhone is where the email was actually sent from (the email server it originated from) which is KEY to identifying and dealing with spam/virus types of email.
In the world of spam and virus laden emails, I have yet to find a way to display this information using the iPhone.
As a prime example..... There is a trojan virus out there saying facebook has changed your password and for you to open their .zip file for your new password. You can click on the FROM address contact link (showing the sender is "The Team" in the iPhone email client and it will open up the information it has in a contact type window. In the example mentioned above, if you do this it just says it is coming from "The Facebook Team" and show an email address of: [email protected]. Seeing this information one must automatically assume the email is legit right??? Of course it isn't. The people sending out the email just put that information in there to make it appear as if it is a legit email from a legit person/organization/company. However if one can actually see the email header itself one would easily be able to see the email's origination server/email-server did not come from facebook itself.(therefore automatic spam)
To help protect spam and potential virus laden emails from appearing to be coming from some "so-called valid email address" a method is needed in order to verify/validate who is actually sending the email itself so as to effectively and accurately identify these types of email and aid in the reporting of these emails to the appropriate organizations directly on our iPhones.
Is there any way to view the full email content header on mails received from other accounts on our iPhone to deal with spam/virus related emails we receive on our iPhones via Push? Or are we to have to wait and launch our email client in order to handle this (seems silly to have to need a computer to handle this as the iPhone is a computer is many aspects running a real operating system)?
Thanks in Advance for any replies.

To my knowledge there is no way to get message headers or source in the iPhone’s mail application. Because of apple's restrictions on third party apps, I doubt you'll see an app that does this as well. As tedious as it is, using Safari is your only choice.
You can make suggestions to apple here:

How to fix SPAM on iPhone if you use IMAP + Mail.app

This isn't going to work for everyone, but for me, it works beautifully. I thought I'd share this here in case anyone else is in the same boat
Summary: Since my G5 is turned on 24/7, I have Michael Rothwell's IMAP-IDLE plug-in installed, and do all of the filtering near real-time in Mail.app. My iPhone is set to check every 15 minutes, and because the junk is filtered instantly at Mail.app, I never see it on the iPhone except in the junk mail folder
(1) download the imap-idle plugin at http://fivepoundsflax.blogspot.com/
(2) install into mail.app
(3) configure spam filtering in mail.app
(4) leave running 24/7 to filter email on the fly and near real-time

Or you could try this:
Delete the account you want to change from POP to IMAP
Put the iPhone into Flight Mode so that it doesn't automatically set up the POP account.
Create the new account and enter the settings
Server incoming and out going: mail.btinternet.com
Incoming Port: 993 SSL security
Outgoing Port: 465 SSL security
Once the IMAP settings are entered remove Flight Mode.
During the set up process you will probably get a few messages complaining that your iPhone can't connect to your email server.
Just ignore these
